Saudi open source conference opens minds (NewsForge)
[Posted January 15, 2004 by ris]
NewsForge
covers
a small open source conference in Saudi Arabia. "
Dr. Aljahadi is
Chairman of the Saudi Linux Group, so when he presented facts and figures
about Linux and open source after all the buildup, he had an attentive
audience. Most of what he said is old hat to NewsForge readers, but not
many government officials in Saudi Arabia knew, for instance, that open
source Apache was a clear leader in the Web-serving software realm until he
told them. Introducing open source to government and industry leaders here
was what the conference was all about, so it's nice that he got such a fine
reception."
